The Evolution of Cystic Echinococcosis in Humans and Ruminants in Portugal—A One Health Approach
Cystic echinococcosis, also known as hydatid disease, is a significant parasitic zoonosis with public health implications, albeit often neglected. In Portugal, data on this zoonosis are scarce despite being a mandatory notifiable disease in both humans ...

Molecular epidemiology of cystic echinococcosis [PDF]
Echinococcus granulosusexhibits substantial genetic diversity that has important implications for the design and development of vaccines, diagnostic reagents and drugs effective against this parasite. DNA approaches that have been used for accurate identification of these genetic variants are presented here as is a description of their application in ...

Key Regulators of Parasite Biology Viewed Through a Post‐Translational Modification Repertoire
ABSTRACT Parasites are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in both humans and animals, imposing substantial socioeconomic burdens worldwide. Controlling parasitic diseases has become one of the key issues in achieving “One Health”. Most parasites have sophisticated life cycles exhibiting progressive developmental stages, morphologies, and ...

An exceptional case of peritoneal cystic echinococcosis in a domestic cat in Australia
A case of peritoneal cystic echinococcosis (CE) in a domestic cat was reported from Queensland, Australia. Physical examination of the cat indicated a large, distended abdomen, which when palpated appeared to be fluid‐filled. Ultrasonography showed numerous cysts with hyperechoic walls and anechoic contents within the cat's abdominal cavity.

Primary Pelvic Cystic Echinococcosis
Cystic echinococcosis caused by Echinococcus granulosus is still an important health problem in endemic areas. Cystic echinococcosis may involve different organs or areas with the most common sites being the liver and the lungs. Pelvic involvement has previously been reported and was mainly accepted as secondary to cystic echinococcosis in other organs,

Past and present of cystic echinococcosis in Bolivia
Viable eggs of the canine intestinal tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (s.l.) infect various intermediate hosts causing cystic echinococcosis (CE). Furthermore, CE represents a serious zoonosis causing a significant global burden of disease. CE is highly endemic in South America, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, and Peru.

The buffalo isolates in northern Iran. Molecular phylogeny and haplotype network analysis of mitochondrial genes. The isolates was determined the G1 genotype of E. granulosus, with five haplotypes. ABSTRACT Background Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato is one of the most important zoonotic parasites in many regions of the world.
